I am still here!
Hello everyone!
I know I was posting a blog entry about every day, but as I've progressed into the training lessons, I've found that my time was being spent more on writing for my website. But of course I do plan on continuing my updates on my blog and sharing things I have learned along the way.
One of the lessons I went through was to write an article for another site besides Street Articles. I chose Hub Pages. I can see the potential in that site and it is very exciting! I have barely scratched the surface as to what I can do on that one. I am still writing articles based on keywords, but now I find myself doing more keyword research. I'm finding it easy to write articles based on my chosen niche, however it's difficult to do it based around a keyword. So I'm kinda doing keyword research based on the articles I already have and seeing if I can incorporate those results into an article. I'm not sure how that will work. But I'm finding good keywords after the fact, so maybe it will be ok!
Another thing I have been facing is a general feeling of unease. I am approaching burnout in several areas in my life, and before I have an ugly breakdown, I have been trying to say no to extra obligations. But I have noticed that I have put myself in the position of being the "go to" person in several areas of my life, and now that I am trying to free myself up in order to to accomplish my goals, I'm being met with disappointment. I am realizing that there were people that I thought liked me for me, but in reality theyonly liked what I could do for them. I hate to think I'm letting people down, but at the same time, I'd really hate to not give myself the best opportunity to succeed at this! So it is a bit of an adjustment, but hopefully people will understand (or at the least, just get over it).
Oh, and my very first Street Article submission was accepted! I'm on my way!

hey ktone, sounds like you moving along very well. I know how you feel with the 'go-to' person, my wife is the same. She cannot say no and gets used and dumped all the time. They say the hardest word to learn is NO but I disagree. I say No often, maybe its because I am older and live for me now but people are absolutely fine with No and in fact they appreciate the Yes then when I can help. Take time out for you man.
Thanks for the encouragement. I have noticed that I have made myself too available and because of that, many people do not respect my time. They'll just have to get used to me saying no! Either that or I'll go off all inappropriate-like and that won't solve anything!
